A Study of Anlotinib and AK105 Injection in Subjects With Advanced Head, Neck and Chest Cancer

A Phase II, Open, Single-arm, Multi-cohort, Multicenter Study of Anlotinib and AK105 Injection in Subjects With Advanced Head, Neck and Chest Cancer

AK105 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specially binds to PD-1. Anlotinib is a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Based on the mechanism study, tumor vascular abnormalities promote tissue hypoxia and increase lactic acid, thereby activating immunosuppression and inhibiting T cell function. Anti-angiogenic drugs enhance the infiltration of effector immune cells by inducing normalization of blood vessels and reducing immunosuppression.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm	Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Anlotinib and AK105 injection; AK105 200mg intravenously (IV) on day 1 of each 21-day cycle plus Anlotinib capsules given orally in fasting conditions , once daily in 21-day cycle (14 days on treatment from Day 1-14, 7 days off treatment from Day 15-21)	Drug: Anlotinib; a multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor; Drug: AK105; AK105 is a humanized monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to PD-1.
